Fishing Tips
Every fisherman, especially an experienced one with a solid fishing experience, has some secrets of fishing. This makes it possible to always be with the catch. Local anglers also have certain skills in their arsenal, which they are happy to share with other fishermen.
Main nuances:
Determination of a promising place
Most fish prefer to stay within water obstacles, both natural and artificial. Such places are interesting for fish for several reasons. Firstly, in such places you can hide from danger, and secondly, due to the presence of whirlpools, in such places the water is always saturated with oxygen.
Catching a predator
There is one very interesting way of catching a predator when he is not very active in relation to artificial baits. In this case, a live bait is used, instead of a silicone fish, and baited on a jig head. Due to the natural smell and color, the predator is able to attack such a bait.
Biting forecast
If you take it seasonally, then the fish bite most actively in spring and autumn throughout the daylight hours. As for fishing in the summer, during this period it is better to fish early in the morning or late in the evening. The higher the water level in the reservoir, the weaker the bite, and when it is cool outside and there is a slight wind, the bite can become more active.
Overview of reservoirs
Fishing on Lake Kuvshinskoye
This is the deepest lake in the Kirov region, reaching a depth of about 27 meters. This lake was formed as a result of the action of underground sources, as evidenced by the presence of a large number of springs. The lake is home to a wide variety of fish, including classic river fish.
Fishing on the Vyatka River
This is the main river of the Kirov region, where a sufficient amount of fish also lives. Fishing on the Vyatka River can be unpredictable due to the frequent change in weather conditions, when the fish go deep or hide in snags. The river is characterized by the fact that in some places the direction of the water flow changes, as a result of which whirlpools are formed, which actively saturate the water with oxygen.
Fishing on the Moloma River
This is a river with clean water. There is no fast current in the upper reaches of the river, and the river itself is characterized as calm and quiet. The river is home to bream, perch, pike and other fish.
